Francisco Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I am Francisco, 29 year old from Perú. I studied Law but worked in the business area of 3 companies, and now its time for me to complement my studies with an MBA, and I got in to Macquarie Graduate School of Business at Sydney. The program starts the 1st of april 2013, but I am moving to OZ on the last week of february. Eventhough the Uni is a bit far from the beach, I am arriving to Manly Beach, being that I have a couple of friends living there. Afterwards, I will be looking for a flatmate in Manly (and make the hour trip to the University , but still wanna live by the beach). I have contradictory feelings, my program lasts 15 months +/-, and I am really really excited on going there and I logicly know I will have the best year of my life, BUT, I am really attached to my family, friends, and lifestyle in Lima, Perú, and to be honest with you guys, I am feeling really heartbroken about it... Any words about this? Thanks a lot for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 There are already many people from South America and Spain living in Sydney so you should be able to find some friends this way, and also at the university. There are also many foreign students studying in Australia and it's only for 15 months or so!
